If your life passed before your eyes, would it hold your interest? In this edition of Doing What Works we tackle that question from Callings author Gregg Levoy. You’ll hear about a woman who’s almost a hundred years old and still writing books, a man who moved to Nepal to make the fifty-year-old version of himself proud, and Katie’s Summer of Adventures. What if not going after what you want is a sin? Wouldn’t that be something? Choose the bigger life, as they say. You won’t be sorry!
